Over deze film

Professor Albus Perkamentus (Law) weet dat de machtige duistere tovenaar Gellert Grindelwald (Mikkelsen) van plan is om de controle over de tovenaarswereld in handen te krijgen. In zijn eentje kan hij hem niet tegenhouden, daarom vraagt hij magie-zoöloog Newt Scamander (Redmayne) om een team dappere tovenaars, heksen en één dappere Dreuzel-bakker te leiden tijdens een gevaarlijke missie. Ze gaan de confrontatie aan met oude en nieuwe beesten, en met het groeiende legioen volgers van Grindelwald. Maar kan Perkamentus, nu er zo veel op het spel staat, wel aan de zijlijn blijven toekijken?

Beoordelingen en reviews

I was pissed that they are shoving liberal garbage down people's throats and they ruined a great character. The new JK Rolling movies and books are absolute garbage 🤮 if I could give this movie a 0, I would. They basically made this movie about a romance between Dumbledore and Grindlewald. Absolute garbage. These new movies don't even exist to me now. I'll only be watching the old ones!

I would describe the movie as forced, lazy, not for kids, and not at all like the Harry Potter series it claims to be a part of. Harry Potter seemed to be more about wonder, adventure and hard lessons in friendships overcoming hardship. These movies have so much noise spread across the films and sure it looks great but still feels empty and disconnected. I don't see how Dumbledore became legendary due to these events.

Obviously, not having Johnny Depp as part of the cast was disappointing, however understandable for the time of production. The movie moved very slowly for the most part and just didn's seem as interesting as the previous prequels. Or maybe parts that might not have made the original cut were included as a ripple effect of JD not being part of the cast. In any case, the things that make HP movies magical are still there, but the script seemed lacking.
